How to find a neutral therapist

5 replies

Daisypod · 14/09/2026 22:49

One of my children has been trans for a number of years. I am completely gender critical but trying to be open and have honest conversations with them.
They would like to have some counselling/therapy with someone who is neutral on the subject (I.e not pushing either way) so they can just talk everything through. They are also autistic
Does anyone have any ideas how I can find such a therapist?

Here’s another link for you Daisy, https://www.thoughtfultherapists.org/ and sending hugs 🫂. My daughter went through a trans phase for a few years before these organisations were set up and at stages finding her decent therapists who would actually do therapy felt like being a British airman shot down in France during the Second World War and trying to find the resistance.

Can I just say what a great job you must have done to get your child to this point?

To allow them their trans feelings, keep them talking even though they know you are gender critical, and in the face of all the online support they get for being trans, get them to a point where they want neutral counselling.

I hope they find the right therapist.

Thank you @AimsAndObjectivesthat looks perfect!
They shouldn’t push an agenda but sadly many do

No decent therapist should be pushing an agenda. Obviously it does happen (see The Tavistock...) but that isn't their job.

You could have a look at https://just-therapy.org/
Read their code of conduct and see if they fit what you are looking for.
Good luck.
